| Abstract: | ![]()
Presents a discussion of classical test theory, including test construction, administration, and use. The author covers basic statistical concepts in measurement, reliability, and validity; principles of sound test construction and item analysis; test administration and scoring; various procedures for transforming raw test data into scaled scores; and some future prospects in test design. Although basic testing concepts are discussed in the context of the popular multiple-choice group test of cognitive ability, the procedures and principles discussed are generic and applicable to most tests used in psychological and educational practice.
